On the one hand, it won't be admissions that keeps Haley Jones from coming here.

On the other hand, it won't be admissions that prevents Haley Jones from coming here and we know how much that hurts, as we are not able to bounce back as easily when a top recruit despite gaining admissions, chooses another school (i.e. KLS, Diggins(?)).

Well, as they say, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take; we miss out on 100% of the recruits we don't admit.  It is generally a good sign for a recruit to complete the application, but as you suggested, our track record with recruits who have applied and been admitted in WBB is, sadly, lower than in football, where we can probably count on one hand the number of such cases, despite the much higher denominator.
